At 43dB, Apricus produces moderate noise comparable to a quiet conversation. In metro areas with close neighbours, consider placement on the side of the home furthest from neighbouring bedrooms.

Pros

  • Six years on both parts and labour, from the date of installation
  • Electric anode as well as a sacrificial one, which suits hard water
  • One model only, so quotes are easy to compare
  • 43 dB published sound level
  • Australian company with local support

Cons

  • One size only, so a large household may need a bigger tank from another brand
  • Published COP of 4.13 on the data sheet is below the best R290 units
  • The install manual quotes 4.49 for the same model, so ask which test the quote relies on
  • Not on the Solar Victoria locally made list, so it earns the lower Victorian rebate tier

How long does a heat pump installation take in Fremantle?
